Overall, the narrative potential is lost amid the overwhelming presence of disruptive advertisements.

The ads during gameplay are really distracting, and it's the same thing over and over. There's no interaction with friends, no quests, nothing but popping bubbles. The game would be awesome if there were more options and quests, but I'm uninstalling now because the ads are driving me away. I dealt with the ads after the board, but it's getting too bad.”
